Regional transit needed most

Dec. 22, 2013

Running the Amp from White Bridge Road to Five Points is only going to help a few city residents. The real problem with traffic congestion is the out-of-county people.

Just look at the license plates of the cars: Cheatham, Dickson, Hickman, Sumner and Wilson counties. Has anyone looked into the possibility of using CSX tracks? They are parallel to our highways coming from Bellevue, Pegram, Dickson, Madison, Hendersonville, and we even have a track coming from Ashland City already in place.

We need more Music City Star-type transit coming from these other towns. It could be trains or buses. This will certainly help the traffic problem on the West End corridor.

I live in Forest Hills and work on West End Avenue. The Amp would not help me as currently laid out.
